White House aide, Johnny DeStefano, center, is leaving the White House on Friday after serving as an adviser to Trump since the beginning of his presidency. He told Trump on Monday that he would be leaving the administration, White House officials said. Knight said in a statement that it had been a “great honor” to work in the Trump administration. Knight told colleagues that legislative activity is likely to wind down as the presidential campaign ramps up, according to White House aides. Republican strategists in frequent touch with the White House said DeStefano usually gave the president sound advice — and helped bridge the gap between an unorthodox White House and the party.
